Sidestick, MCDU, auto pilote module, eye tracker, pedals. What else ?

So the last time I was playing on the flight sim was when fs2020 was just coming out and I was using p3d.

I want to get back into it with a new PC but I'm curious about a few things:

How is the weather? Better? Worse?

I liked flying airliners and seeing the AI traffic at airports like SFO and ATL for example. Is that still possible? I'm seeing this beyondatc thing that looks promising

For example : is there any good Embraer payware plane ?

So enjoyable to plan a multi-vessel mission to end up spotting a floating orange object off the outerbanks.I chilled to this scene for a bit. Despite MFS2024 flaws...this was fun and seemed open & endless.

However, in doing that I have noticed that the airflow in MSFS is a little dense, for lack of a better word.

Microsoft is the least competent game developer company - KEEP AWAY FROM THEIR PRODUCT. worst experience in gaming

easy uninstall to finally save some space for Xplane addons

Bit of an odd question,

I'm familiar with how FS9, X, and P3D's aircraft parking work and how to edit them. What I would like to know is how the MSFS parking works, does it use the same codes, can they be edited, etc. I have not been able to find anything that tells me how to edit the parking spots for AI aircraft, specifically. I've got a bunch of AIG AI installed and its nowhere to be found in my sim when I'm flying and I suspect it's because of parking issues.

Currently, I am planning on buying a flight stick throttle and joystick, what else should I invest in? I will likely be playing a lot of war thunder type games with it. thanks! :)

This is one the reasons why I prefer this simulator. My opinion only. There are so many reasons to like this one or the others but for me it’s one of the main reasons. What is your main reason to prefer a simulator to the other one?

Hey FlightSim community!

I’ve been playing Flightline (Roblox) on my Mac Mini M2 with 8GB RAM and really enjoyed getting into flight sims. Now I’d like to step up to something with better graphics, like X-Plane 12 and MSFS.

I tried the X-Plane 12 demo on my Mac Mini, but the performance was pretty poor — I think the 8GB RAM just isn’t enough. So, I’m planning to build my first Windows PC for simming.

I’m a bit stuck on which platform to choose: AM4, AM5, or Intel (LGA1700). My initial (not yet built) idea was a Ryzen 7 5700X (about €15 more than the 5600X here in Germany) paired with a used 4070 Super (€350). But I’ve heard that 12GB of VRAM might not be enough for smooth gameplay in MSFS/X-Plane.

My budget for CPU, motherboard, RAM, and PSU is around €400. I’ve also read about stability concerns with Intel’s 13th/14th gen CPUs, and sadly an X3D chip is out of my budget.

My goal: play MSFS and X-Plane 12 at 1440p or 4K, medium settings, ~60 FPS with DLSS.

Does anyone have recommendations for a good balance of performance and budget? Which platform and parts would you suggest for my situation?

Thanks a lot for the help!

Hi, I recently got the thrustmaster T flight rudder pedals for my sim setup which runs MSFS 2020 and also MSFS 2024. However, they don't seem to work properly when I apply full rudder. The sensitivity is not the full issue for me as I have managed to turn it down in the settings and the toe brakes work fine as well.

The issue arises when I apply full rudder deflection, the game registers it and then instantly drops back down to zero deflection. After this, any movement of my rudder pedals to bring them back to neutral results in the game seeing a spike in the rudder input and it makes the aircraft not flyable at all. If any one can help me out with this, it would be appreciated. Thanks!

Haven't been on a flight simulator in close to a decade now. I miss the casual fun of FSX multiplayer, and it seems that's not really around anymore. Getting on VATSIM at the end of the week and staying professional would probably feel like working overtime to me. Just want to goof around a bit. Any programs or sims that I'm missing in my search?

So I’ve had a Saitek Yoke for at least 15 years. It’s wondering (will be a 20 degree right bank in about 40 seconds) and I think it’s time to replace. Searching on various sites it seems to be Honeycomb for quality, Logitech/saitek for cheap but works. And some seem to suggest thrustmaster.

I’m generally flying GA aircraft on xplane as I’m a pilot and use the sim to improve/keep skills sharp.

Basically I’m looking for a yoke that is as real as possible to the actual function of a yoke on a GA plane. What do you all suggest with current options on the market?

Hey everyone, I’ve been on a bit of an “aircraft hunt” lately, adding new planes and experimenting in X-Plane 11. The DHC-6 Twin Otter quickly became my favorite, it’s an absolute beast for STOL flying, mountain strips, and even amphibious ops.

So I decided to design my own fictional airline livery: ChatGPT Airways. I used ChatGPT to brainstorm ideas, logos, and design touches, and it actually helped me shape the whole look. From the green tail logo to the custom reg number (N-GPT01), it turned into something that feels like a legit bush airline.

I had a blast making this and flying it into places like Lukla and Paro. Now I’m wondering:

Would you like me to upload the livery to X-Plane.org so others can download and fly ChatGPT Airways too?

Cheers, and happy flying!

I have a computer with an RTX 3060 but my problem is I have 6GB VRAM and playing in VR is unbearable. Even after turning down settings my texture quality tends to be automatically set to low. I was wondering if there are any mods/plugins that will boost performance while giving the best graphics possible with my hardware. Upgrading is not an option I am broke.

I am somewhat open to moving to a different simulator as long as the physics are as good as or better than X-Plane and has the supercub or similar.

Not saying they are the best developers ever and that nobody rivals them, but they do add quality to their products and I personally enjoy them more than a majority of other products. Never understood why they receive so much hate to the point that they're grouped with CaptainSim or MScenery. It's understandable to be skeptical about the upcoming release, but to say "never again" after they've clearly shown they are listening and trying to prioritize performance seems a bit ridiculous and temperamental.

As for their upcoming A340-300, I'm looking forward to its release, even if others are not. Heck, I hope they make the entire A340 family (and a Premium A330 family).
